The team received a call from the North West Ambulance Service to assist with a casualty with a suspected head injury at Lowther Castle. Arriving at Lowther Castle we met the Ambulance and crew to find that the casualty was within the Wooden Fort of the adventure playground. Once the ambulance service had assessed the casualty, the team used a vacuum mattress - to protect a suspected back injury - and stretcher to extract the person from within the wooden fort, and carried them the short distance to the Ambulance.
